Matheson Island Tour   (Aug 30 – 10:00 AM)

The rugged beauty and compelling history of the Lake Winnipeg Narrows will be on full display during the Matheson Island Kayak Tour, located 2.5 hours north of Winnipeg.  The island offers incredibly scenic views of the Lake and contains a fascinating history of fishing and trapping.  Weather permitting, participants will be paddling from Matheson Island to Black Bear and Cub Islands  and exploring the surrounding area.  These islands are rich in bird activity and provide opportunity for shoreline exploration.

Depending on weather conditions, the exact tour details will vary, including a day paddle from Matheson Island to Black Bear Island, exploration of the fine sand beaches of the west side of Matheson Island, and/or a paddle into Jackpine Bay to the Pine Dock caves to explore on foot.  Allow for 6 hours.

This tour takes place on Lake Winnipeg which could present challenging conditions.  Previous lake kayaking experience is required.  Also, a portion of the drive to this location is on gravel road.
